MJ400306A1 Installation Installation place ① This equipment is designed for indoor use. Never install the equipment in a place where it is likely to be wetted by water or rain. The equipment may fail. Install the equipment in a place where sufficient ventilation is provided and changes in humidity are minimal.
Page 11
Due to the characteristics of the mass flow controller, if counterflow occurs, the fully opening action may occur even if controlled. The valve of Model 8700 Series Controller Type is intended for precise control and is different from valves designed for complete shutoff.
MJ400306A1 Connector and Pin Assignment Connector Connector type : D-sub half-pitch connector, 20 pins Main unit connector : DX10M-20S (Hirose-made) Recommended matching connector : DX40M-20P (Hirose-made) Cover : DX30M-20-CV (Hirose-made) Pin assignment Pin No. Signal Name Remarks Power supply GND It is recommended to connect both of two to prevent a voltage drop.

MJ400306A1 ③ Set flow rate indication(Controller type only) Determine a flow rate to control with this equipment. When the [ENT] key is pressed while this set flow rate is being indicated (“VL” lamp lit), the figure on the left end (most significant) flashes. Go to the digit of the set value to change with the [ ] key and change the figure with the [▲/▼] keys.

MJ400306A1 12. Changing Over the Operation Modes The valve has three operation modes; “control mode,” “fully closed mode” and “fully opened mode.” When the equipment is shipped, it is in the control mode. It can be forced to the “fully closed mode” (valve fully closed) or “fully opened mode” (valve fully opened). Each time the [RUN] key is pressed, the mode is changed over between “control”...
